ROYALTIES RIDE.
Queen Victoria shows Herself TO Her
subjects I'm London.

LONDON, May 17.-Queen Victoria
emerged from her seclusion to-day long
enough to open the Queens hall at the
Peoples palace of east London, aud in
honor of the event the day was observed
as a general holiday. Great throngs Of
people filled the streets at an early hour
and almost the entire strength of the met.
ropolitan police was massed in the dis
trict traversed by the royal procession.
There was general display of bunting
and a few triumphal arches. but the lack
of enthusiasm was noticeable. A couple
of weeks ago the trades people of White
Chapel and Milesend, to the number Of
several thousand, united in a petition to
her majesty that she would select some
day for the visit that would not ruin their
business. A reply was returned to the eff
feet that the petition had been laid before
her, but that she had not been pleased to
comply with its request, and, as u result,
her reception was far less cordial than it
would have been on any day of the week
but Saturday. The Queen was accom-
panied by the prince and princess of
Wales, Princess Beatrice and Prince
Henri of Battenburg, and the royal car
riages were escorted by detachments Of
the First Life Guards and the Grenadiers'
Guards. The queen sat in an open car
riage and repeatedly bowed to the right
and left in recognition OF the greetings.
The proceedings at the palace were brief
and of purely formal nature.

THE COERCION DEBATE.
Several Amendments Proposed, but all
are Rejected.

LONDON, May lin the House of
Commons in the committee on coercion
bill Healy moved an amendment that
person committed for contempt Of court
be treated as a frst-clasS misdemeanor
He argued that witnesses examined foI
refusing to answer questions ought not to
be subject TO the same punishment as
criminals. When the last coercion act
went Into effect the detention of many
persons shortened their lives ten years.
Balfour, chief secretary of Ireland, said
that persons committed could AVOID pun
ishment by answering the questions.
There was no difference between
the cases under the clause and
the cases of contempt under the ordinary
law. John O'Connor, nationalist, said il
the government imprisoned the witnesses
as common criminals for refusing to ans
wer the questions, it would be disgrace
to civilization. Why didn't they propose
to apply the old-fashioned implements OF
torture. including the thumb-screw and
rack2 Healys amendment was finally
rejected-195 to IA. Healy moved to
limit the penalty for contempt in the case
of witnesses to seven days imprison-
ment.
Healy's amendment limiting the PEN
atty for contempt, was defeated, 1873 to
III. Another motion referring to wit
nesses was negatived and the House ad.
journed.

WYOMING, May IA woman, per-
haps % years of age and somewhat mas

that such family lived few miles east
of town, engaged livery team from ID.

The team not having been returned. late
in the evening and other suspicious cir
cumstances, prompted Mr.. Countryman
to start on tour of investigation, find

jOyed visit from the, to them, entirely
strange woman. He then tracked the rig
to Monmouth, and from there he took an
early train for Maquokcta, where soon

BARB WIRE FAILURES.

the Interstate Commerce Law.

CHICAGO, May 1.-Two barb wire fence
manufactures failed in this city to-day.
Sherman Il Marsh, 81 Dearborn street,
made an assignment to Noble b. Judah.
Liabilities estimated at $i4S, 900 and
assets at 1855, 900. The firm Is composed
Of Francis Il. Sherman and Eben J.
Marsh. The firm of Schnabel Il CO.,
SO Dearborn street, next door TO Sher.
man ~ Marsh, also made an assignment
TO Mr.. Judah, liabilities $500, 900;
assets $iS3, 200. Members Of the firm
are Eben J. Schabel and Eben. J.
Marsh, the same Marsh that is in
Is In the firm of Sherman & Marsh. Mr..
Marsh gave as the immediate cause Of the
failure the operation of the interstate
commerce act. He said: That bill had
the effect Of simply shutting us out. We
could not go out of Chicago with our pro-
ducts and hope to do business or anything
like a paying basis. The truth Is, how.
ever, the business has been anything but
profitable for the last three years. There
has been too much overproduction in
barb wire" The two firms have made
no preferences Of creditors and will await
the action of their creditors before
deciding on any plan. Messrs Sher-
man & Marsh have been doing
business for nine years and are IL
censecs under the Washburn. Moen Man
ufacturing Co. They had entertained
good hopes Of doing a fine business this
spring. but these hopes are now effcctu-
ally blighted Schnable's failure is due
to the same causes as the other. Both
houses are connected in business and are
virtually the same concern. Each firm
was on the others paper. The principal
creditors are the Washburn & Moen
Manufacturing Co., the Commercial Ma
tional Bank, American Wire Co., Mer-
chants Loan and Trust Co., the Ii. p
Vail Co., Iowa Barb Wire Co., New Ha-
ven Wire Co., John A. RoeblIng's Sons
Co. and the Cambria Iron Co. A large
share Of the unsecured debts are due to
the Wa'hburn g. Moen and Rocblings
Companies.

THE COLOR LINE.
Trouble In the State Episcopal Conven.
ton In south Carolina.

70 CHARLESTON, s. c.. May 15.-Intense
excitement is felt to-day in Episcopal
circles consequent upon last night
secession Of the lay delegates from the
State Episcopal convention on account OF
the colored delegate, Pollard. The Sec
elders, who represent fourteen OF the
wealthiest parishes in the State, are very
reticent, but it is intimated that the
churches will simply withdraw from the
diocese by refusing to be represented In the
convention and Withholding their dues.
This course would seriously effect the
finances of the diocese. The convention
still has a quorum and proceeds with the
regular order Of business. Bishop Howe,
presiding, received warm congratulations
from the churches north, for his firm
stand on behalf Of Delegate Pollard
admission to the convention.
In the Episcopal meeting today three
more delegates of st. Euke's parish, Char
lesion, seeded. Resolutions Of regret
were passed by the convention, request
ing the seceders to resume their seats,
but after some communication had
passed, no reconciliation was reached.
The meeting adjourned to meet at Ander-
son, 5, g., next year.

TAX On L. asHasS.

Much is said just now about the
abolition of the tax on tobacco and
whiskey.
In our opinion, it is not t., be ex-
pected that the tax on these luxuries
will he abolished. Some of the
jp"rnala Of tne country have gone
far enough in the discussion Of this
qntsliOn to say that tobacco and
"hlskev are no longer to be c!assed
among iuxuries; but that men have
IL Ell them and enjo,e ed them until
'hry have be"Ume necessaries.
Now, every man of any mature
Thought or sensible reflection at all
ought to know that such position
and the assertion Of it is erroneous.
all know, as we'll az we know
the light Of MONDAY froOm the dark
ress of midnight, that no man
che~s or smokes or drinks whiskey
IS an actual Necessity. And we be-
licve that the democrats in CONGRESS
are too wise and too much alive to
tue interest and welfare of their con-
stltuents to favor or advocate any
measure which will tend to the re-
duction or abolition OF the tax on
these, the most uncalled tor of all
Injuries, rather than labor for reduc-
ton of the tax on such articles as
every man is compelled to use, let
the cost tie what it may.
We have more confidence in our
representatives then to believe they
will do what we should conceive to
he so unwlse and unjust a thing.
The President, in his message.
suggests between the lines tie wis
